Probably tell myself "why didn't I learn it sooner".

I thought I was doing something wrong but apparently Windows doesn't play well with others. I am able to connect to BackTrack with Windows using cygwin but not Linux onto windows. I have tried Copssh since that seemed to work with Windows 7 x64. Also I looked into how to transfer files and even tho I am connected though cygwin in Windows I get a connection refused. Oh I used scp (secure copy) and it looks awesomely... I know its a Windows thing but eh! there you have it Windows doesn't play well with others. I also put port 22 to be open. I do not have any firewall besides the one Windows box comes with. What ever it is I will figure it out. The only reason I do not ask a question here is because its a Windows problem not a BackTrack problem.

In BackTrack To another BackTrack in vmware the scp from ssh works flawlessly. Oh man! I thought I was doing it wrong but I wasn't, it was Windows that was giving me a headach.

Well best of luck and thanks for the grate information about ssh. Now to learn more about Linux.

I haven't used ssh to transfer files, I usually start up an ftp server on my bt box or just mount my windows share using mount -t cifs. I use the mount method to copy my music from my vista machine to bt so I can keep my tunes updated Here's the script(just edit the vars), it's quick and dirty and definitely could be more secure but here it is:

I have actually started playing with SSH and have learned how to transfur files betweent the two. But man! that script looks nice to just touch. I will have to play with it. I just like new things, and I don't do things because they are need nore because they are hard but because I can.
